Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute began shooting over the weekend, but still has not been given a timetable for his return from a dislocated shoulder. Mbah a Moute said last week that he had been progressing more quickly from the injury April 10 than he did when he dislocated the shoulder in December, forcing him to miss a month, but the Rockets have not estimated when he might return.
"He's closer," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It's still too early to put a timetable on it, yet. Next week, he'll be re-evaluated. I think he'll be real close next week, but I don't know that for sure.
